DRAFT: BOP Fairplay Policy Agreement - Page 5

Here's my rough guide to the rules

You can pretty much go by the difficulty..

Arcade : Kill everything. Wanna dive into someone at 700mph? go for it.. no-one cares, kill your own team mates 'by mistake' (this is great fun!), wanna drop bombs on yourself? No problem! Whilst you're at it... Quitting in arcade is very nearly compulsary..

Realistic : Gets a little bit more serious here.. Realistic players like to play fair and will not tolerate any nonsense from anybody over anything whatsoever especially from the damned French! Bailing out is considered the proper thing to do, and most do (except the damned French!)

Simulator : This is a bit like chess.. because it's mostly played at knee height.
The rules are pretty relaxed because everybody's far too concered about where the hell everybody else is and keeping the bloody thing in the air. You can get away with murder in Simulator because nobody really has any ******* idea who the hell they are shooting at.
It's the ideal mode for covertly shooting down team mates, ramming whatever`you like, hiding in bushes and then leaping out like Rambo...

To sumarise anyone can be a prick in arcade but it takes skill to be a prick in Sim.

(P.S I like the French)

This FPA seems to only work with dedicated groups and clubs, mostly on Sim.

Funny, how it is true no one really has a clue most of the time on Sim. I thought team A was colored red and team B blue, so I shot Olife down once.

Can you provide anything further about this.
I know that there were only 3 regiments flying IL10's over Berlin- 571st, 108th and 118th for a total of 120 aircraft. What date did it happen as this will narrow down the regiments. From what I've managed to track down there were between 10-15 IL10's lost during this period. I have already discounted 6 of these from german documents and will continue to narrow down. I also have a avid german tank nut of a mate looking at the King Tiger aspect. This should be easier as of early April 1945 there was only the SS tank battalion 503 using King Tigers in Berlin. There were only 13 operational so he reckons he can easily determine which tigers it was. As a side note by 30th April there were only 2 remaining of which one managed to disable or destroy 30 T34's!!!

Couple of other things:
You say your uncle ran put of fuel and ammo. As the range of the IL10 was in excess of 500miles how did he manage this as 'home base' would have been no further than 50miles outside of Berlin??
Did he or indeed his rear gunner survive the crash?

The rear gunner survived but died later since he landed on a building. I mean absolutely out of fuel, as well. Me and my father never got along well, so I don't know much. Perhaps you could be willing to dig it up though, it doesn't really matter to me.
